Though I'm not convinced anyone in the Philadelphia region actually reads BLDGBLOG – and that includes myself – I'll be giving a talk at the University of Pennsylvania Architecture Department this Thursday at 6pm. In Philadelphia.

A small piece of me lives in the Duchamp Collection, and it will venture out to your talk, it will catch you and nurse you through hiccups, and it will slur with you the ecstasy of the complete derangement of the census, the melting & folding of the urbanispheres, &c., &c.

Alrighty roo - I'll have some local support. Expect some flying micronations, some blimp hotels, a little bit of London topological, some freaky mouse-suburbs, some... I've already forgotten. Some continental drift. Some JG Ballard.

Can't say that I do know that song at all, but I work in a record store (across from UPenn) so I will keep an eye out for it. I'm definitely going to try to make it to your talk. Don't know if I can supply the wave, though. My right arm is broken. Perhaps, I can try to clap with one hand, though.

I'm one of the organizers of talk20...I hope everyone can make it on (Thursday April 13th @6PM). Geoff, by the way your images look great...We have a good mix this time so its not all centered around architecture. We have video artists, landscape architects and photographers.
